"If you are a subscriber to either Tweetbot or Twitterrific, I beseech you to decline these prorated refunds. It’s a couple of bucks for you, but in the aggregate, this amounts to an existential sum of *already booked revenue* for these two companies, both exemplars of the indie iOS and Mac community.

"Reinstall the app if you’ve already deleted it. Tap that ‘I Don’t Need a Refund’ button and feel good about it. We have a month. Spread the word.”

Tweetbot and Twitterrific Face the Cliff

There is something noble about two longtime rivals — competitors, yes, but with nothing but deep respect and camaraderie for each other — facing this terrible cliff together, with dignity and grace, considering their users first, as ever.

@marcoarment @gruber @tapbots A few days ago I cancelled my yearly subscription. I assume that still lets Tapbots keep the money, I just won't be charged again in May. I hope. My intent was for them to keep the year subscription. Full on with Ivory now.

Also, part way through Mac Break Weekly. Nice to hear you on there. Hopefully it's not another 10 years :)

@chrisleboe @marcoarment @gruber @tapbots that was my assumption as well but it seems this is NOT the case. You need to follow these steps or you will get a refund automatically. To achieve your goal you need to tap the button (as I just did). Thanks to everyone who is sounding this alarm; it is not obvious or intuitive that this is needed.

Weird, the update just showed up now. I thought I was losing my mind.
